· Surrender and Obedience: Jesus calls disciples to take up their cross daily (Luke 9:23), prioritizing God’s will above personal desires.
· Love and Service: Following Jesus means loving others purposefully and sacrificially, as He demonstrated by washing His disciples’ feet (John 13:14-15).
· Live Counterculturally: Stand firm in God’s truth with grace, as Jesus did, challenging societal norms with love (John 17:14-18).
